Upgrade From A Portable Oil Free. Super Happy!

I replace a Craftsman oil free with this unit. Installed in the basement and used Rapid Air Maxline to feed to garage. (See the video) I'm very happy with the noise level. No comparison over the oil free. With the mounting pad and rubber insulator on the hold down bolts reduced vibration and noise in the house.

Even the wife, who was concerned on the basement location, is happy with the running noise level in the house. The Maxline is awesome and the 3/4" will provide plenty of CFM to the garage for all my needs. Which include light HVLP painting and soda blasting. Along with other less air demanding tools.

"Air compressors Direct was very easy to deal with. Answered my questions and were very professional on the phone. Easy to order on web site. Only hiccup was the shipper. Missed 1st promise day, likely due to late arrival of the truck to the dispatching location.
And psi gauge was broken during shipping. I'll suggest to the packager to foam block the gauge area in the case the cardboard box gets knocked loose from the staples to the pallet. That is what blew out the gauge. I've had promise to replace from shipper but have not pursued as of yet."

I don't write reviews on products that I just get. How can you write a review on something that you haven't used much. With that said, I have had this air compressor for two years now and I'm not happy with this unit or Quincy.

The first problem that I had with this unit started as soon as it arrived. I noticed that there was a coat of oil all over the tank on the compressor. I originally thought that they may have done this to protect against rusting during storage or shipping. So I didn't pay to much attention to it while it was on the delivery truck. I did find a broken gauge which probably happened during shipping and I'm in no way blaming Quincy for that.

After going through the shipper to get the gauge fixed, it was finally time to install the compressor. When I had everything hooked up, I checked the oil before turning it on and found that there was no oil in the pump. So ran and got air compressor oil and filled it up. Went through the break in process and called it a night. The next day I went to use it and there was oil all over the tank and on the floor. The gasket on the bottom of the pump was not installed correctly from the factory. How did Quincy not notice this before shipping this compressor? Brand new and its already broken.

Called Quincy and there "NO BULL" warranty is nothing but BULL. They said they would send a repair person out but that I would be responsible for his drive time and O yeah, the closest repair person was 5 hrs away, one way. I decided that I could fix it, even tho I shouldn't have to work on a brand new compressor. It just seemed easier and quicker that way. Fast forward two years and the pump completely failed. The piston rod in one of the cylinders has broken into 4 pieces. This is supposed to be a 10,000 hrs pump and I bet it has less then 250 hrs on it. I haven't had a chance to buy the air tools that I wanted which was the whole reason for buying this compressor in the first place. So this thing has just been used to fill some tires mainly. In other words, very very light use.

I am so disappointed in this air compressor. I bought this after reading up on Quincy and I thought I was buying a quality product from a reputable company and it couldn't be further from the truth. DO YOUR SELF A FAVOR AND STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPRESSOR. This has been nothing but a headache and I wish I had never heard the name Quincy.

Product Expert

Gaetano,

I am so sorry you had a bad experience with your Quincy compressor. Usually they are durable, reliable units- I understand your disappointment.

If you signed up for the No Bull Extended Warranty, please give the folks at Quincy a call at 251.937.5900 along with the serial number of your unit. I don't know if they can help with the travel time for the repair tech (maybe if they have another call in your area it would reduce the cost?) but they may be able to send you the parts that you need.

The Quincy Service Locator shows C.H. Reed in Milton, PA (570-742-8621) 5520 State Route 405 17847 to be 2 hours away, one way. It also shows the C.H. Reed in Hanover PA (717-632-4261) to be 2 hours away, one way, in the other direction if that helps.

I placed in the attic of my shop to save room and keep noise to a minimum. Very impressed at how quiet it is and pretty much vibration free. I did set it on a rubber mat and used foot pads just in case.

Delivery company did a great job too, had lift gate service and they placed the unit right outside my shop in my backyard.

"Everything went as expected! It was shipped on time and the driver put it in my garage right where I needed it! Thanks O.D !"

I ordered my compressor on 11 Dec. 2014. It was delivered on 21 Jan. 2015. Many deadlines are missed. When ACD called me with the final delivery date I asked him about the dates that were missed. He said that they just gave me any date appease me.

Compressor arrived on 21 Jan. 2015 and I had it running the next day. Runs great with much less noise than my Craftsman. Motor shuts off at 120 psi.

As a follow up, I got a call from a trucking company on 9 Feb 2015 that my compressor would be delivered the next day. Quincy shipped a second compressor to me. I refused delivery.

Now I have been waiting for three weeks for Quincy to respond to my extended warranty information.
Bottom line it's a good air compressor. If you have the time and patience, go for it.

Great Compressor, If Your Lucky Enough To Get A Good One

First off I'm sure this is a great compressor. I was very impressed with how quiet it was and how much air it generated. I was actually making a youtube video of me sanding continuously to upload here so that others could get see that this thing will produce much more air than you can use.

That is when the unloader hose blew off...

Like another reviewer here has mentioned, the plastic hose is connected to a piece of copper that gets around 300+ degrees in temp. Once the compressor has cycled a few times, the hose just blows off. The hose itself is so hot to the touch that you can't even put it back on until it has had time to cool off. There isn't much use putting it back on anyways though as it will just blow off again. Like the other reviewer my compressor DOESN'T WORK. It's brand new, and unusable. I've been waiting over a week for a response from quincy to an email with no reply whatsoever.

I'm saddened by this turn of events because like others here I was floored by this things performance and I wanted to give this thing 5 stars, and make a few videos showing cycle times with various air tools at 100% use :( All I wanna do now though is find the person who got my email and hear what must be a hilarious excuse as to why it would take over 7 days to reply.

After considerable research, I chose this compressor to replace my 35 year old CH compressor that had died. It was arrived promptly after I ordered it and I quickly installed it in my hobbyist woodworking shop. When I turned it on it filled the tank beautifully and just before it should have stopped automatically, it blew off the line from the unloader valve to the bleeder valve and it kept running and losing air from the now-loose unloader line.

This line runs from the check valve to the bleeder valve in the same complex as the on/off switch. It is made of light plastic and is connected to the brass check valve which gets VERY hot since it is connected to the outlet pipe from the pump. After repeatedly re-connecting the line to the barbed fixture on the check valve, I called the Quincy factory and they directed me to a local Quincy repair service.

A certified technician came and replaced the barbed fitting for the flimsy plastic line with a compression fitting. The compressor worked properly and shut off while the technician was there but within 10 minutes after he left it blew off again from the compression fitting and continued running until I turned the switch to off.

After repeatedly re-connecting the line, I purchased copper tubing and connected that to the check valve and used a compression coupler to connect the line to the plastic tubing going into the bleeder valve. Now it blows out at the plastic connection when the pressure gets to 130-135. I am at my wits end trying to get this NEW compressor to work. In looking at a similar Husky model at Home Depot, I see that the unloader line and connections are all metal. I suppose I will have to have this thing shipped back to AC Direct.

Just installed the compressor. It had an air leak that I had to find and tighten the fittings. Otherwise, it appears to be a good buy. I have already recommended the Quincy brand compressor to a friend.

The compressor will fill the tank from no pressure to 120 psi in 4 or 5 minutes.

I recommend that you pay the extra $35 to get the compressor delivered on the ground. The compressor is top heavy and can be a handful to move by yourself.

Quiet

I had a 30 gallon craftsman oil less its very noisy.this one is quiet enough that I can still hear the radio. Lots of air pressure when I am running my half inch impact gun. I added a longer quarter inch pipe to get the drain valve more accessible. Easy to wire up if you have some knowledge. Made sure that I used the 30 breaker.

I bought the warranty products and air compressors direct was great helping me get it signed up for the extended warranty. I'm leaving it on the shipping palet until I make sure where I want it permanently, doesn't have much vibration

Not Real Happy

I needed to replace an old compressor with a new one. So I went back to the Quincy because of the trouble free one that I had many years ago. The new one is no-way the compressor of the yester-year. In the Instruction & Parts Manual that all electrical connections must be performed by a qualified electrician.

So I paid a local electrician a $100.00 (2-hour min. at $50.00 a hour) to hook up the unit and the pressure regulator has never worked right. Which I should not be surprised, the switch is made in China.

I will be calling Quincy the nest few days to see if I can get a new pressure regulator switch.

Replaced a craftsman air compressor 30 gallon, it's very loud. With the quincy i can have a conversation with someone next to it. Doesn't have much vibration I still have it on the shipping palet at least until I can get time to actually put it on the floor and bolt in down. I also have added a street elbow to the drain valve and extended it out so it's easier to drain.

For a home owner that does most of his own repairs on his own vehicle's tires, brakes,oil, filters and such has plenty of air and doesn't run out even when I'm using my air tools, impacts and air cutoffs. It definitely brought my air tools to life these tools now have the ability to work better with the proper air.

Amazingly Quiet!!

Finally got my shop done, and started up the unit yesterday. Did the one hour break-in as recommended. Was amazed how quiet the unit was compared to the 80 gallon Delta I had in my old shop..

It may be because the Delta was two stage, but it was quite dramatic. If you buy this unit, be sure to put it on rubber insulators as I think that may be part of the reason it's quieter. Happy with the purchase, and am doing all the trim in the shop Quincy blue. Nice looking unit.

Great Compressor

The compressor showed up and was delivered on time.

I did have to wire in my own 220V cable and plug but it was very easy and pretty inexpensive with parts from Menards. I'm glad I read the manual because there is a break in period for the motor that I followed.

My only complaint is that the brass drain was bent and cracked when delivered and leaked when I started it. I just replaced it instead of going through the hassle of waiting for a new part to come through the mail.

It is an awesome compressor and relatively quiet, much quieter than my old compressor.

Good product but should have gone with the 2-stage for auto painting. This one is not that quiet as advertised and will run all the time. It keeps up with demand really well though so it gets the job done.

The shipping was good other than a broken fitting that I had to run to a chain store to fix. Also plan on spending 50 bucks for wiring. I had to switch to a 3 prong receptacle as this is a 3wire system.

Overall happy with my purchase.

Consider closely before buying from these folks. I ordered my compressor and it took 2 weeks to receive it. I refused the shipment because it was heavily damaged. I contacted them the next day and asked they rush the delivery of a new one.

I have time off I am using to setup my shop. A week later it hasn't shipped and the ship date is today.
There has been no communication and when the shipping company told them they had damaged it no action was taken until after I called.

Product Expert

Mark,

I am so sorry you were disappointed with your experience! I checked your file and see that we tried to notify you on 3/2 when your replacement order was placed, but the note didn't transmit- that is totally our fault.

Our Logistics team already has a call in to Quincy to get tracking information on the replacement order and we will contact you with the details as soon as we get them.

We appreciate your business, and apologize for any inconvenience.

For folks researching this unit, we say it ships in 2 to 5 business days (Monday thru Friday, excluding Holidays). In this case the order was placed on Sunday, 2/21 so it wasn't sent to Quincy until Monday, 2/22. Quincy told us they shipped it on Friday, 2/26- the 4th business day after the order was placed and within the estimated window. The unit was delivered on 3/1, the 7th business day after the order was placed.

The truck driver may have reported to his dispatcher that the unit was damaged during shipment, but then the dispatcher needs to contact Quincy, and Quincy needs to contact us- it takes a while. That's why in our Shipment Details email we ask our customers to refuse damaged shipments and report them directly to us. That way we can send out the replacement order right away- usually, as in this case, the same day.

My new Quincy air compressor is outstanding! It was delivered just as advertised with only one stumble. The pipe on the drain fitting was apparently damaged during handling, so I had to make a trip to the local hardware store to replace it.

However, the excitement of getting this new tool installed outweighed any hassles.

Howard Recommends This Quincy Product

Product Expert

Howard,

You may want to contact the folks at Old Dominion Trucking to file a hidden damage freight claim at 1-800-235-5569 to cover the cost of the drain fitting. The window for this is very short, so please don't delay.

As advertised ordered the compressor and a week later it arrived in perfect condition. I received several emails letting me know the order was received, shipped and even a follow up making sure all was good. I was very impressed, I highly recommend Air Compressors Direct. The compressor itself was perfect it's quiet, recovers quickly and had no issues upon installation.

I'm glad you found the information you needed! You can also contact Quincy Tech Support at 251.937.5900 if you still have questions. For safety's sake, please make sure your installation meets local electrical code.

For folks reading this review, all 17 pages of the Owner's Manual are in English; there's a PDF link for the Manual under the Specs tab on our web page.

You won't find much in the way of wiring instructions because Page 3 of the Manual states "The installation, electric motor, wiring, and all electrical controls must be in accordance with National Electric Code, National Electric Safety Code, Canadian Electric Code, state and local codes. Failure to abide by the national, state and local codes may result in physical harm and/or property damage.
All electrical connections must be performed by a qualified electrician. Note: This unit must be grounded."

A qualified electrician won't need the instructions on how to wire the unit. Installation, setup, break-in, and basic troubleshooting are all covered in the manual.

Took a little while to ship but, looks and works great so far. Not a lot of time on it yet but it's pretty quiet and runs all of my small tools just fine.

This was quite an upgrade for me from a small 20 gallon compressor. As heavy as this compressor is built, it should last from now on for me.

I bought the recommended oil and filters for it and plan to service it as the book says. I added an hour meter for it and line filters. Although it is being used for home use, I live in the country and have tractors, trucks and other things that gives me a use for an air compressor almost everyday.

I am very pleased with it and recommend it to anyone.

Thank You.

I purchased this compressor in the first week of August, 2015 but got off to kind of a rough start. It had fallen over in the delivery truck and broke the belt guards and the tie down strap took out the pressure gauge, These things are top heavy so I'm not blaming anyone and I didn't see it as anything to worry about. Ordered the parts but was busy, so didn't get it repaired and down into the basement until Dec.

I should have gotten on it sooner. It runs quiet and so cool you can hold the fins while it is running. It recovers quickly and provides all of the air that I need. It replaces a 27 year old Campbell Hausfeld.

The one major difference that I noticed was though the motor rpms on the two compressors are the same, the compressor pulley on the Quincy is much larger. This results in the Quincy 2 cylinder compressor running cooler and slower while the 1 cylinder CH ran fast, hot, and loud. And yet the Quincy puts out more cfm.

I might add that blue is my favorite color.

Truck line tried to deliver without tailgate service even though I had paid for it. Directions were not clear to the transport company from the shipper."

This thing is a beast. Just got into PlasmaCutting CNC and thought the air compressor I had would be fine. Boy was I wrong.

After a great experience ordering from ACD, shipment showed up pretty much on time. Unloaded the compressor and wired it up. I have now been cutting for a week and it keeps up very will with my table and my Hypertherm 45.

Works Good, But Is A Little Noisier Than I Thought

I did not expect it to be this loud, but works as expected.

James Recommends This Quincy Product

Product Expert

James,

Quincy compressors are usually pretty quiet once they've broken in. You may want to give the folks at Quincy a call at 251.937.5900 for any tips they may have. Please be sure to have the serial number of your compressor handy when you call them in case they ask for it.

Significant air leak...doesn't appear to have been tested. Expected higher quality, but overall satisfied with the purchase.

Product Expert

Wade,

Each Quincy air compressor is tested before it ships, but sometimes the trip to your location can take it's toll. I'm sorry you were disappointed with the initial condition of your compressor but I think you'll be pleased with the overall quality and longevity.

If you have any issues, please feel free to contact the folks at Quincy at 251-937-5900. Please also have the serial number of your unit handy if you call them- they will probably ask for it.

After the break-in period, the electric motor failed after about 2-3 hours of intermittent use. Going through warranty process now. Doesn't seem like a quick process.

Pros:Quiet, Price

Cons:Durability

Steve,

I'm sorry there's an issue with your air compressor. The Factory Warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, so Quincy needs to confirm that the problem wasn't due to improper installation or an external factor.

Since Quincy checks each unit before it leaves the factory their incident rate is very low. If there is anything we can do to help, please feel free to contact us at 'service@pressurewashersdirect.com'.

Ordered this Quincy unit 11 days ago and have no information about if or when it will ship. 2-5 days listed on the site but Quincy shipping doesn't believe in "under promise, over deliver". I hope the the manufacturing of these units is more professional then there shipping and communication.

Air Compressors Direct.com staff has been helpful trying to get info out of Quincy and understanding on my frustration but still no information has been forthcoming.

Cons:Quincy Shipping Timelines

As soon as we get the tracking information from Quincy we will email it to you, along with a link to the shipper.

Once the air compressor arrives at the terminal in your area the shipper will call you (or you could call them) to schedule a delivery on a convenient day and time.
